Fuzzy Logic
Like most US quangos the USADA has no authority whatsoever. How they can claim to be able to strip someone of titles is unbelievable and a complete embarrassment. Leave it to the correct international bodies to make any decision, though I suspect they now feel awkward and somewhat irritated by the public actions of the USADA. Perhaps it's the USADA who should have their titles removed...
Passing a drug test means nothing if there is other evidence. For example, in women's track events the world records for 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, and 10,000m are all held by athletes who are known or suspected to be 'drug enhanced', yet there is no proof as they have passed all the relevant drug tests.
[quote] More noteworthy than the "rating system" is the fact the OP had no misspellings. [/quote] It was probably copy and paste from somewhere ;p
[quote] Spot on, Michael. Especially amongst the wallpaper "artists". [/quote] I didn't want to say it myself so directly, but you know what I mean when I say 'artists' ;)
The topics of politics, religion and global warming always bring out the folks who spout tripe about stuff they know nothing about and expect it to be accepted as fact. The Earth is going to get wiped by an asteroid before all this happens anyway. So who cares about global warming.

[quote] I used to be a moderator on Wincustomize...... Even had a death threat once. Says it all eh [/quote] So it wasn't just me then... ;p At the moment I'm a moderator on two sites, one of which is probably the most popular astronomy forum there is. We have more new posts in a day than WC gets in a year ;) Moderation is strong though. We have a swear filter, but still have to remove words from time to time. Anyone acting negatively towards the

I have to have a pic of our Jess on my desktop... Perfect :)
Mine went, came back and not a single person noticed... ;p
Captain's Log, stardate 120815.8. Beamed down for a crap.
This current install of '7 has been going two and a half years without a single problem. I do have mstDefrag looking after my non-SSD drives and regularly use CCleaner. Some programs create lots of temp files which need removing and FF seems to create huge temp internet files. But all this is a normal part of running a PC. Do you wash your car? Change the oil? It's all the same thing ;)
I thought DesktopX had gone the way of the Dodo...
Windows 8 could be a huge benefit to Stardock. Many users are going to need additional programs to make W8 usable and no-one is better placed in the market than Stardock.
I don't know why anyone would miss the start menu. It's been unusable since XP anyway.

I wouldn't expect you to get this right - useless Aussies. I mean, you haven't got the hang of shark fishing yet... ;p
My favourite colours are the ones we used to get back in the '60s. You don't get colours like those anymore, they were far out!
